3. Turn the carrots into a food processor or blender with the milk, butter and garlic. Run the machine until the mixture is smooth.

4. Return to the saucepan. Add the mixed spice, salt and pepper to taste and enough of the cooking water to give a smooth puree. Heat through gently until piping hot.
